The onions are considered to be a favorable functional source of beverage because they contain much sugar and various nutrients, and they are juicy vegetable. Recently, consumers have a new trend to take functional foods with health benefits. To meet this need, this study was the basic research to establish a manufacturing process of functional onion beverage by glucose oxidase. Glucose oxidase catalyzes reaction of glucose oxidation and makes generation of gluconic acid. Kinetics of the reaction was also investigated, and maximum glucose consumption rate $(V_{max})$ of $26.1{\times}10^{-2}\;g/L{\cdot}min$ and $K_m$ of 5.84 g/L were obtained. Optimum conditions were obtained when the glucose oxidase catalyzed reaction was carried out at temperature of $25^{\circ}C$, agitation rate of 450 rpm and aeration rate of 4 vvm in a 2.5 L jar fermentor. Finally, the enzyme reactor was 10-times scaled up and a similar glucose oxidation performance was achieved in the scaled-up reactor.

In order to minimize the deterioration of dried apple quality, changes of free sugar content, organic acid and ascorbic and during osmotic dehydration with sucrose at various temperature, concentration and immersion time were investigated in this study, total sugar increased as the temperature, concentration and immersion time were increased. Sucrose showed the largest change in content while fructose and glucose showed no and small changes, respectively. Large amounts of malic and fumaric acids, and small amounts of oxalic, citric, maleic and succinic acids were detected. Organic acids were high at low temperature treatment, and became higher with increasing concentration. Loss of ascorbic acid was small at the low temperature and high concentration. Effect of immersion time was negligible. Changes of free sugar, and organic and ascorbic acid followed the first-order and second-order reaction rate equations, respectively. Arrhenius equation was applied to determine the effect of temperature on reaction rate constants with high $r^2$. To predict the changes of quality, a model was established by using the optimum functions of temperature, concentration and immersion time. The model had high $r^2$ value for the quality changes during drying.

The paper includes utlization of zeolite as potential adsorbent to remove a hazardous malachite green from waste water. The adsorption studies were carried out at 298, 308 and 318 K and effects of temperature, contact time, initial concentration on the adsorption were measured. On the basis of adsorption data Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm model were also confirmed. The equilibrium process was described well by Freundlich isotherm model, showing a selective adsorption by irregular energy of zeolite surface. From determined isotherm constants, zeolite could be employed as effective treatment for removal of malachite green. From kinetic experiments, the adsorption process followed the pseudo second order model, and the adsorption rate constant ($k_2$) decreased with increasing initial concentration of malachite green. Thermodynamic parameters like activation energy, change of free energy, enthalpy, and entropy were also calculated to predict the nature adsorption. The activation energy calculated from Arrhenius equation indicated that the adsorption of malachite green on the zeolite was physical process. The negative free energy change (${\Delta}G^{\circ}$ =-6.47~-9.07 kJ/mol) and the positive enthalpy change (${\Delta}H^{\circ}$ = +32.414 kJ/mol) indicated the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption in the temperature range 298~318 K.

An experimental investigation is made to determine the mechanism of the aquation of $[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ in $Hg^{2+}$ aqueous solution. The progress of reaction is followed UV/vis-spectrophotometrically by a measurment of the absorbance at a specific wavelength of Co(III) complex as a function of time. The aquation of cis-$[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ and trans-$[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ has been found to be first order and second order with respect to the concentration of $Hg^{2+}$ catalyst, respectively. It has been found that the reaction rate for aquation of the trans-form is faster than that of cis-form, and that the product of either cis-form or trans-form is always in the mixture ratio of 97 % to 3 %. Plausible reaction mechanism is proposed for the reaction system on the basis of kinetic data and activation parameters. Theoretical rate equation derived from the proposed mechanism is consistent with the observed one.

The mechanism of cooking rice was investigated using a japonica type rice variety, Akibare, of 50%, 70% and 90% polishing degrees. The hardness of rice cooked at various cooking temperatures ($90^{\circ}-120^{\circ}C$) was measured with a Texturometer. The cooking rate followed the equation of a first-order reaction. The reaction rate constants were in the increasing order of 50%, 70% and 90% polished rice. The temperature coefficient of the reaction rate constant at cooking temperatures of ($90^{\circ}-100^{\circ}C$) was about 2 in all rice samples. The activation energies of cooking at temperatures below $100^{\circ}C$ and above $100^{\circ}C$ were about 17,000 and 9,000 cal/mole, respectively. The polishing degrees and water soaking time of rice did not affect the activation energy of cooking; however, the lower polishing degrees and shorter soaking increased the cooking time The experimental results suggested that the cooking process of rice comprises two mechanisms: At temperatures below $100^{\circ}C$ the cooking rate is controlled by the reaction rate of rice constituents with water, and at temperatures above $100^{\circ}C$, it is controlled by the rate of diffusion of water through the cooked portion (or layer) toward the interface of uncooked core in which the reaction is occurring.

In this study the migration experiment using packed column with crushed tuff was conducted as a basic research to develop migration model of radionuclides through geologic media. The main emphasis was put on evaluating the validity of migration models. For this, two models were introduced: one is the model which is based on the assumption of instantaneous equilibrium reaction and the other the model based on kinetic process such as intraparticle diffusion. The coefficient of hydrodynamic dispersion in packed column was determined using iodine as nonsorbing tracer. The hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient, D$_{L}$ was shown to be 0.11$\times$10$^{-2}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/min under the condition of the column porosity of 0.483 and the average water velocity of 0.915$\times$10$^{-2}$ cm/min. The distribution coefficient, Kd of Cs-137 on crushed tuff was 11.3 cc/g at the concentration of 2$\times$10$^{-6}$ M and the temperature of 2$0^{\circ}C$. The breakthrough curve of Cs-137 through packed column was shown to have an asymmetric curve in which long trailing tail appears at the end part of the curve. The results obtained from the comparison of introduced models with experimental data indicated that the mass transfer model with intraparticle diffusion as rate-controlling step simulated the behaviors of Cs-137 migration more adequately, when compared with the bulk reaction model in which the assumption of instantaneous equilibrium reaction was maded. Consequently, the intraparticle diffusion was found to be an important factor in the migration of Cs-137 through packed column.n.

Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation on the thermal boundary resistance(TBR) of an aluminum(Al)/silicon(Si) interface was performed in the present study. The constant heat flux across the Si/Al interface was simulated by adding the kinetic energy in hot Si region and removing the same amount of the energy from the cold Al region. The TBR estimated from the sharp temperature drop at the interface was independent of heat flux and equal to $5.13{\pm}0.17K{\cdot}m^2/GW$ at 300K. The simulation result was experimentally confirmed by the time-domain thermoreflectance technique. A 90nm thick Al film was deposited on a Si(100) wafer using an e-beam evaporator and the TBR on the film/substrate interface was measured using the time-domain thermoreflectance technique based on a femtosecond laser system. A numerical solution of the transient heat conduction equation was obtained using the finite difference method to estimate the TBR value. Experimental results were compared to the prediction and discussions on the nanoscale thermal transport phenomena were made.

Nickel cobalt ferrite($Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$) powder was prepared through the ceramic route by the calcination of a stoichiometric mixture of NiO, CoO and $Fe_2O_3$ at $1100^{\circ}C$. The pressed pellets of $Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$ were isothermally reduced in pure hydrogen at $800{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$. Based on the thermogravimetric analysis, the reduction behavior and the kinetic reaction mechanisms of the synthesized ferrite were studied. The initial ferrite powder and the various reduction products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, reflected light microscope and vibrating sample magnetometer to reveal the effect of hydrogen reduction on the composition, microstructure and magnetic properties of the produced Fe-Ni-Co alloy. The arrhenius equation with the approved mathematical formulations for the gas solid reaction was applied to calculate the activation energy($E_a$) and detect the controlling reaction mechanisms. In the initial stage of hydrogen reduction, the reduction rate was controlled by the gas diffusion and the interfacial chemical reaction. However, in later stages, the rate was controlled by the interfacial chemical reaction. The nature of the hydrogen reduction and the magnetic property changes for nickel cobalt ferrite were compared with the previous result for nickel ferrite. The microstructural development of the synthesized Fe-Ni-Co alloy with an increase in the reduction temperature improved its soft magnetic properties by increasing the saturation magnetization($M_s$) and by decreasing the coercivity($H_c$). The Fe-Ni-Co alloy showed higher saturation magnetization compared to Fe-Ni alloy.

This study conducts Hypervelocity Impact(HVI) simulations considering space objects with various shapes and different impact angles. A commercial nonlinear structural dynamics analysis code, LS-DYNA, is used for the present simulation study. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic(SPH) method is applied to represent the impact phenomena with hypervelocity. Mie-Grüneisen Equation of State and Johnson-Cook material model are used to consider nonlinear structural behaviors of metallic materials. The space objects with various shapes are modeled as a sphere, cube, cylinder, and cone, respectively. The space structure is modeled as a thin plate(200 mm×200 mm×2 mm). HVI simulations are conducted when space objects with various shapes with 4.119 km/s collide with the space structures, and the impact phenomena such as a debris cloud are analyzed considering the space objects with various shapes having the same mass at the different impact angles of 0°, 30° and 45° between the space object and space structure. Although space objects have the same kinetic energy, different debris clouds are generated due to different shapes. In addition, it is investigated that the size of the debris cloud is decreased by impact angles.

In this study, we propose two methods able to recover different type of gold from gold-cyanide solutions: biosorption and desorption process for mono-valent gold recovery and biosorption and incineration process for zero-valent gold recovery. The waste bacterial biomass of Corynebacterium glutamicum generated from amino acid fermentation industry was used as a biosorbent. The pH edge experiments indicated that the optimal pH range was pH 2 - 3. From isothermal experiment and its fitting with Langmuir equation, the maximum uptake capacity of Au(I) at pH 2.5 were determined to be 35.15 mg/g. Kinetic tests evidenced that the process is very fast so that biosorption equilibrium was completed within the 60 min. To recover Au(I), the gold ions were able to be successfully eluted from the Au-loaded biosorbent by changing the pH to pH 7 and the desorption efficiency was 91%. This indicates that the combined process of biosorption and desorption would be effective for the recovery of Au(I). In order to recover zero-valent gold, the Au-loaded biosorbents were incinerated. The content of zero-valent gold in the incineration ash was as high as 85%. Therefore, we claim on the basis of the results that two suggested combined processes could be useful to recover gold from cyanide solutions and chosen according to the type of gold to be recovered.
